Jake Lamothe

Jake Lamothe’s early jiu-jitsu competition story includes preparations for an older age group.

Biography

In November 2024, L’Express profiled Jake Lamothe, a six-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitor from Drummondville. He had won gold in the atome age group at the Québec Open, held at Académie Saint-Louis, adding to a provincial gold and two gold medals from a Montreal tournament at Centre Pierre-Charbonneau. The report also looked ahead to a change in age group. Lamothe was putting effort into training for a planned move to pee-wee competition in 2025.
